I liked this but some stories were a bit complicated.

This an extremely informative book all about Greek Myths. At the end though it explains what each god represents. So, if your learning about the Greeks and want to be the smarty pants of the class, I would advice to read it. Many heroes will battle impossible monsters, mighty armies and cunning gods. Some end happily, others tragically.

I loved the myths and stories especially the Twelve tasks of Heracles and The Odyssey. I liked Odysseus the most because he was brave and clever in both the tales. U should read this book. Yes I would recommend this book,

This was a bit too factual and I prefer the Percy Jackson books - learning stuff but in a fun story way.

The greek myths are so well told in this book and I loved it . My favourite myths was the duel with the Hydra because the Hydra cannot be killed unless it is one big blow to all of the heads. I would recommend this book to any reader because of how fun it is to read.

I like learning about the Greek gods. The 12 tasks of Hercules is my favourite story. Hercules even battles the guard dog Cerberus. I liked Perseus and the Gorgon too, it had lots of interesting characters like Medusa and Poseidon.

I liked this book because it was about different Gods & Goddesses and brave hereos. All of the stories were interesting. The book also included the Hercules story which was my favourite.
